Time 3h10m

Number Of Ingredients 20

For the chicken:
1 ½ pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
½ cup ketchup
1/2 cup low sugar bbq sauce (I love Stubb's Spicy BBQ sauce)
¼ cup water or chicken broth
½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon cumin
⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the slaw:
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
Freshly ground salt and pepper
For serving:
4 whole grain or gluten free seedy hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Add ketchup, bbq sauce, water, worcestershire, apple cider vinegar, yellow mustard, cumin and cayenne pepper to the slow cooker and stir to combine.
  • Place chicken thighs on top and flip over to coat the chicken thighs with the sauce. Cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 hours.
  • Once done, shred chicken and place back in the slow cooker and stir with the sauce. Serve immediately or turn slow cooker to the warm setting and serve later.
  • Make the slaw while the chicken is cooking: In a medium bowl combine carrots, cabbage, cilantro, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil and salt and pepper. Set aside to marinate until you are ready to serve.
  • Once ready to serve, use a slotted spoon to add chicken to bun, top with slaw and remaining bun. You can also serve these with sliced cheese if you prefer. Serves 4.

PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES (CROCK POT)



Pulled Chicken Sandwiches (Crock Pot) image

A personal take on a recipe from the "Slow Cooker Bible" and based on recipes typical of North Carolina styled BBQ. The sauce is tangy and flavorful but not spicy as the amount of hot sauce is just enough to balance the sweetness of the ketchup. Certainly mild enough to serve to kids. It you want more zing, add more tabasco or a chopped chipotle pepper en adobo. (If your crock pot is large enough, this easily doubles and the leftovers can be frozen.)

Time 6h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium onions or 1/2 large onion, thinly sliced
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Cut the onion in half and slice into thin half rings. Line the bottom of the crock pot with the onions.
  • Trim the chicken breasts and place on top of the bed of onions.
  • Mix all of the sauce ingredients together and pour on top of the chicken covering completely. (I make the sauce the night before so that it is a simple dump and run in the morning.)
  • Cook for 6 hours on low setting. The sauce thickens and turns into a dark rich brown during cooking. At the same time the onions dissolve into the sauce.
  • When the chicken is falling apart tender, take two forks and shred the chicken.
  • Serve on top of split buns. I like mine toasted so they hold up better to the weight of the shredded chicken.
  • Suggested sides include baked beans, corn on the cob, coleslaw or cucumber salad.

Easy and Tasty Barbecue Chicken Sandwiches in the Crock Pot image

This is almost too easy to be called a recipe, but I had to share it anyway. I came up with it one night when I wanted a nice meal but wasn't feeling too motivated. I love Crock-Pot cooking!

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 8h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 -2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
1 (18 ounce) jar of your favorite barbecue sauce (I love K.C. Masterpiece!)
1 medium sweet onion, sliced
4 -6 hamburger buns

Steps:

  • Remove all visible fat from the chicken and toss it in the crock pot.
  • Place the onion slices on top of the chicken.
  • Pour the barbecue sauce over top.
  • You may not need the entire jar, just enough to cover the chicken.
  • Cook it on LOW for 8 hours or until the chicken is nice and tender.
  • Shred the chicken with a fork and knife; scoop the mixture onto the bottom buns and top it with the top buns.
  • Or, if you're like my dad, you might prefer leaving the breasts whole and eating it that way.
  • Voila!
  • An easy weeknight meal that doesn't heat up your kitchen in the summertime!
  • I love this with potato chips and a carrot and raisin salad.
